Nikon Ambassadors are some of the most talented and influential visual artists working in the business today. From workshops to trade show platforms, online learning and social media; Nikon Ambassadors represent the most versatile and ambitious photographers today.

Change your white balance during a sunrise or sunset. Take your camera off auto white balance and switch to Cloudy or Shady white balance. This will add more strength to the reds, oranges and yellows. Auto White Balance tries to keep colors neutral.

Looking for inspiration for your photography? Look no further than Learn & Explore, the area on the Nikonusa website that is packed full of educational articles, how-to tutorials and inspirational pieces on all sorts of photography topics.

Carry your camera manual, especially if your camera is new. When traveling you'll probably have a chance to try some new shots. It can also be the time you’re likely to forget the function of a particular button. Or you may just want to explore all the cool things today’s cameras offer.

Experiment with the white balance settings outside. White balance on your camera will alter the color temperature and appearance you get in your picture. For instance, a CLOUDY setting will give your pictures a warmer cast. The FLUORESCENT setting will make your photographs cooler, skewing to a purple cast.

When traveling abroad, check the power setting and type of plugs. Most modern chargers do both 110 volts (USA) and 220 volts (most of the rest of the world). Check yours, and then pick the right adapter for the plug. Be careful to not use a 110-volt power strip in higher-voltage countries.

Turn on the lights when shooting inside the house. Lamps and overhead lights will brighten any picture indoors. The light will add depth to the picture and often warm up the color. Most importantly, it will brighten up the background.

Be creative with your posing. Don't just line everybody up. Use the steps or the arm of a couch to experiment with some people standing and others sitting. Have kids sitting in laps or someone sitting on the floor or kneeling. Mix it up.

Get yourself in the picture. Nothing is worse than a vacation with no shots of the family photographer. Get in the picture by using a tripod (or a steady surface such as a wall or a car hood) and the camera’s self-timer to make sure you're included in the family memories.

Jump for fun. Have your kids line up for a picture. As the photographer, get low, and get ready to shoot. Have the kids all jump in the air at the same time. Capturing them mid jump can bring out their true personalities.

When photographing a lot of people at a party, use your camera’s Smart Portrait System to help you get better pictures. The blink mode lets you know if your subjects blinked, and the smile timer can snap the photo when the camera sees that your subjects are smiling.

Try turning off your flash at night to get what your eye really sees. If it's at all dark or dim, the camera will try to fire the flash. Find the flash off icon (usually a lightning bolt with a line through it) and select it. Make sure to hold steady, or use a tripod, because the shutter speed may be slow.

Use the pet scene mode when photographing cats and dogs. If your camera doesn’t have a pet mode, disable the audible beeps and focus assist lamps while photographing them so the lights and sounds aren’t a distraction.

Go shooting with a friend. Not only will you add another pair of eyes to find interesting subjects, but you’ll also feed off of each other’s ideas and energy. Try to organize regular shoots in the park. Share lenses or tips on making that unforgettable photo.

Use fill flash to add a little sparkle to your subject’s eyes when shooting portraits outdoors, during the day. Even in bright sunlight, fill flash can even out the lighting for a more pleasing photograph.

Compose photos using the “rule of thirds.” Think of the frame as being broken into nine rectangles (like a tic-tac-toe grid over the picture). Place your subject at one of the intersections of the lines for a more visually stimulating photo.

When shooting an image that has a subject looking off to one side, compose your photograph so there is more space where the subject is looking. This will give your photograph more of a natural feeling.

When shooting landscapes at dusk or nighttime, use a tripod and cable release or self-timer so you can slow down the shutter speed to let in more light. This is the technique used when you see pictures of car lights as lines, not pinpoints.

One of the rules of composition says that horizon lines should not be placed in the center of an image, but closer to the top or bottom of the frame. Sometimes rules are meant to be broken. When you’re photographing a subject and its reflection, its perfectly fine to place the horizon in the center of the frame.

REPLACED A SONY WITH IT!
Love the compact everyday use, take it skiing with me in the jacket pocket and always in the car. Replaced a Sony with this one. Have 3 active Nikons and 2 old units. The best feature on this camera is the use of "AA" batteries, so sick of specialized batteries that cost a bundle. The Nikon batteries however do last longer than the competitors models.

Great little camera
I bought this camera for one of my sons...we liked it so much we got another.

Best all-a-round pocket camera you could ever want. Has 8X10 picture quality. Great for when you are just in the car driving, who never know what you come up to and thats when you always don't have a camera, but this one can be the one you have. I know other photographers that use this model camera as their back-up when due to bad weather or timing this camera saves the day.

I would first check the battery. Mine does that when the battery is dead.

The number one problem with my old small camera is the shot-to-shot cycle time... it is old and quite slow. I like the look, quality and price of the L26, but none of the reviews I have seen specifically looked at the recycle (shot-to-shot) time.

The VR reduction in camera keeps entire pic n lens vibration reduced, on a lens VR it is the lens only that has the reduction...much more effective on a lens than a point n shoot, but non the less, it should reduce vibration...

In all the specs i've seen, it says the camera has focus lock. I've also seen that in the user guide, which also explains how to use that: the camera focuses on the center, but when you are in automatic mode it should lock the focus, then you move the camera to focus on something that is not in the center. the problem is, i can't seem to make that work, and it's starting to drive me nuts, because i really wanted to use that feature. Thanks in advance.

When you lock the focus you cannot refocus on another object, you can only shift where the original object of focus is located in the frame.(same distance must be maintained.So, focus on the object in the center then pan left or right, upon down to reposition the object. This all must be done with the shutter release in the half way position. When the object is where you want it depress the shutter button fully.

Is it normal that my coolpix focus for about 10-20 seconds before finishing its "pre-focus" time for it to capture? Sometimes when I'am taking the picture and focusing for 15 seconds or more It's a little awkward; most of the time after waiting for the half-press(focus) the camera wont take pictures so you have to do another 10+ sec. half-press.

Most of the time shooting delay is caused by focusing. Press the button half way down (and hold it in) and let the camera pre-focus; when the subject is perfect press the button the rest of the way to shoot. With a bit of practice it is easy to get the perfect photo.

Will the L26 put a date stamp on the picture that can be seen either printed or on a computer/TV screen?

If you select the Date an Time feature on your camera the shooting date and time can be imprinted (this form a permanent part of image data and cannot be deleted) on the images, and it will also show in the TV or computer screen.
